So just like that everything goes back to normal, huh? Not even an explanation.

[She sighs.] How terrible.

I can't help but think we haven't seen the last of those soldiers either...

[She pauses and then laughs.] How depressing. All right, enough of that. Halloween is right around the corner, isn't it?

So is winter.

[cloversong]

I was trying to think optimistically.

[daddyslilpyro]

And that's nice. I'm totally okay with that. But you've got to keep a foot grounded in realism around here too, or else things like this will catch you by surprise.

[cloversong]

I know, I know. But I assume winter is survivable here since you and everyone else are still alive.

[daddyslilpyro]

-... She could mention that they technically only barely survived last winter, but she feels she's being enough of a downer-

Anyways, there's not much to do for Halloween, but we usually do well.

[cloversong]

[Oruha appreciates this, man. She's depressed enough as it is!]

Oh? Yeah, I imagine there isn't really a place for costumes or anything.

[daddyslilpyro]

The people here will find any reason to celebrate what they can.

[cloversong]

I'm glad. In a place like this you'd have to. We need something to keep us happy and sane.

[daddyslilpyro]

That's pretty much the story behind it.

[cloversong]

Do things happen for Christmas too?

[daddyslilpyro]

I think I remember something.

[cloversong]

Oh? What do you remember?

[daddyslilpyro]

Something called Discedomas.

[cloversong]

[She laughs.] That sounds ridiculous.

[daddyslilpyro]

Yeah, but I guess they needed a secular concept everyone could get behind. We may not have any one faith or culture in common, but we all have being stuck here in common.
